The look of both websites have really has ne thinking packing it up and heading away from the cold. Warm and sunny has always been a great appeal for someone that hates the cold. This discussion will provide a better understand on how to organize, staff, and plan. As from the textbook, “the five management functions include planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling human and other resources to achieve organizational goals. All organizations, regardless of their performance levels or profit motives, have a management structure and management staff. Although the organization exists for a particular purpose, such as producing a product or service, the responsibility for mission achievement requires a central figure, and in some cases figures, to coordinate these five primary activities.” (Baack, Minnick, & Reilly, 2014) Both sites are organized in a way that makes them appealing for someone looking for the best deals. Having access to Facebook©, Twitter©, and other social outlets give the customer a way to get the opinions from other customers. Being that both companies: Ron Jon Surf Shop (www.ronjonsurfshop.com) and Hilo Hattie (www.hilohattie.com/aloha/) are located in Hawaii; both shops promote beachwear, surfboards, and other beach necessities. Ron Jon is better known and has multiple shops were as Hilo Hattie has only one. Both companies make use of their websites to also promote careers with their company. Both companies have options on their websites to apply for jobs. Both sites also list the jobs currently available at any given store. Both sites give information about their structural leadership. This was easily found on Hilo Hattie’s site, with lists of key people that lead the company, as well as their contact information. Ron Jon provided a very nice example of a standard operating procedure (SOP) on their site that dealt with the companies shipping and logistics protocol. (Baack, Minnick, & Reilly, 2014)
